North Norfolk Coast Site of Special Scientific Interest
North Norfolk Coast Site of Special Scientific Interest, Protected coastal area in Norfolk, England
The Norfolk Coast extends for 43 kilometers from Old Hunstanton to Kelling, featuring salt marshes, reed beds, sand dunes, and shingle beaches.
Charles Rothschild purchased Blakeney Point in 1912 and donated it to the National Trust, marking the first conservation effort for this coastal region.
The region attracts numerous birdwatchers who contribute to local tourism, with surveys indicating that 39 percent of visitors come specifically for bird observation.
The protected area spans 7,700 hectares and includes ten nature reserves managed by different conservation organizations throughout the coastal strip.
The salt marshes within this protected zone contain some of the most diverse coastal plant collections in Europe.
